Got a bit teary-eyed myself... Like, do you remember when hip-hop was art? I do. Skinny teen, early '90s, beaten down cassette deck, in some basement or garage, eyes and mouth wide open, listening to, well - this... good times. Pushing 50 now, still moves me.
What we just witnessed right here is literally Hip-Hop history. That was one of the most creative performances of all time. Showing us that Hip-Hop can be fun and highly artistic 🖼️
😂😂👏👏👏 Agreed 💯 I miss this style of music, this performance made me so happy, and brought back some great memories from childhood 🫶☮️ Thank you De La Soul! Much love and respect, as always 🙏
🥲I had tears in my eyes when he introduced Plug 2. We need more De La Soul in our world right now: Native Tongues rule! Eye Know had to be chosen to flex about finally winning their long-fought battle over sample clearances… IYKYK 🦶🦶🦶
Yeah I'm really nostalgic for music that is like a chop shop. Steal some Steely Dan from Peg steal the whistle from sitting on the dock of the bay. I got a tear in my eye for good music being bastardized like this.
@@stubbsmusic543Peace! You buggin; dope sampling is an art; Daddy-O told u all 😮it’s not stealing; it’s refining painting an entire new portrait! The canvas is now miraculous! Hip Hop is Forever!
I hadn’t heard, just went to Spotify and sure enough, it’s there! Great news, thanks for mentioning it. 😁This album was one of the soundtracks to my first year of college. How time flies!
Thank you, Stephen, for always presenting your audience with Hip-Hop with meaning, a story behind it, and message. Thank you sincerely for being one of the last mainstream outlets that showcases conscious Hip-Hop artists and the love and positivity so many of us have to share. You're the man, and De La Soul is FOREVER!!
Early March 1989 my bro returned to NZ from a trip to NYC and gave me 3 Feet High and Rising on cassette, it had only come out in the USA a couple of days earlier. I think I dubbed about 20 copies of that tape for friends, it wasn't available in NZ until quite a few weeks later initially as an import.
I'd like to apologize for my younger self, who was 100% convinced there would be no way for a rapper to be cool after 50. Most of them aren't, to be fair, but these dudes prove me wrong!
Good to see that the other original member of the De La crew is back in the fold. Especially considering that Prince Paul was the architect of the De La Soul sound on their 1st three iconic albums
De-La Soul & Prince Paul, I owe you for oh so many smiles, for turning dark days bright. David/Trugoy the Dove, rest in power, a legacy to be proud of and one that will continue to lift people up when they are down and get their heads nodding and their asses shaking. Nothing but love. Nothing but love.
I was a senior in college when this album came out, and played the tape until the oxide fell off. 35 years later I've been listening to it in my office all week celebrating the anniversary.
Oh, I remember the very day we received this nugget at our office. All the employees got crazy with it instantly overnight and it was played at full volume all day long in the warehouse for quite a while.
That was cool, so inventive, just like their music! That takes me back.. 35 years! Wow. Gave me goosebumps and a big smile! Still have the original 12" of this single, I'm gonna put it on.
De la soul is the reason I fell in love with hip hop. It was this album, and ever since I’ve been hooked on rap music. East coast, West coast down south! I luv it all, but it started with De La soul. This performance was so creative as always! Rest in peace Dave🙏🏾
Love De La Soul, real awesome, great hip-hop that was something special back in the day, no gang-banging with explicit lyrics; just great sounds with a message, good to see they haven't lost their touch after all these years. Also great work with the Gorillaz on Feel Good Inc.
Do your self a huge favor and go listen to the entire discography....binge it. You won't be disappointed. Common , Redman, Mos Def CHAKA KHAN show up on various albums.
I wasn't born when this song came out. My dad had the vinyl the day it released in the UK. When I was 13 he passed it onto me, as well as albums from people like KRS One and Jungle Brothers. This music changed my life. Hip-Hop changes lives, and will always be a reminder to me how cool my Dad is. Emotional watching this. RIP DAVE. De La Soul forever.
Pretty sure some old school rap had references to shooting and guns. Mostly, it was railing against it because of how destructive it was to the Black community.
Peace, I cannot listen to this joint without thinking of how it was part of the soundtrack of my life. A broke, small college athlete, I had my Grandmother's Bible, my Grandfather's advice, some records, and sneakers. In my tool pack, I had this joint, and "Eye Know" helped rock me to sleep at night when the world dealt me cruel blows. Thank you De La Soul for being there for a brother, you are still part of my soundtrack for life.
3 Feet High is one of my all-time top 5 albums, and I'm not even a big hip hop fan in general. That record NEVER gets old, in fact as time goes by I feel like I "get" it in ways I didn't before.
I love this but I'm so sad right when they get their publishing back, right when all these anniversaries and good things are happening, Dave had to pass. Rest in power to the one and only Dove 🕊️
I got a little emotional when he said Plug 2 ... I won't lie. Some tears came out and kept coming out throughout the entire song. I'm 55, and I was just a 20-year-old kid when this came out. TO THIS DAY, I remember that bright yellow cassette tape that I paid maybe $10 for all those years ago, got into my car, sat down, opening up the tape, putting it in, and pulling out the insert and reading through it. There is something special about Da La Soul and a Tribe Called Quest. RIP to Plug 2 and Phife.
Met Plug One in the green room after a Dave Chappelle show in Tampa. He’s good friends with Dave. Super chill dude. Told him I grew up listening to De La Soul. He put his arm around me, told me how much he appreciated that and let me take a photo together. Really humble and down to earth dude.
@@jimreily7538 great question. Elaine, Dave’s wife is Filipino.Big family. My girlfriend is Elaine‘s cousin but they are more like sisters. We go to all of his shows when he comes to Florida, and all the family gatherings in Ohio. We did Thanksgiving with Dave and Elaine at his new club in Yellow Springs. Bucket list moment was smoking a joint with Dave on his front porch while he was showing me bits of his new Netflix special months before it came out. I’ll never forget that.
True story: 3 Feet High and Rising was the first piece of music I ever owned when, for Christmas as a kid, I asked for the cassette tape (no CD's yet in my household). I wanted the record as I had heard Say No Go on the radio and was blown away. My parents bought it and I played it over and over and over. Thus began my lifetime love of Hip Hop. That album had a song called DeLa Orgy and I was so scared my mom would hear it and take the cassette away, lol.
I got to see De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park. it's probably my favorite show that I've ever been to. Remembered In Perfection Dave and Phife.
This was so refreshing to see DE La perform. I loved the whole cooking tutorial. I know Dave was watching in enjoyment, and the picture taken with the crowd in the back shows they're love for performing. Rest in power Trugoy❤ great job De La
Waaaaawuuuu dela!!!!RIP truguy...been a fan since Saturday days!!!!!with love from Nigeria 🇳🇬...love you guys...please take care of Dave's family for me..
not ashamed to say i cried a little listening to this
Amen 😊
Guilty!
It got me too. ❤
Got a bit teary-eyed myself... Like, do you remember when hip-hop was art? I do. Skinny teen, early '90s, beaten down cassette deck, in some basement or garage, eyes and mouth wide open, listening to, well - this... good times. Pushing 50 now, still moves me.
I got a little teary when Pos did Dave’s verse. 🥺
R.I.P. Trugoy aka Plug 2
Rest. In. Power.
Shoutout to Plug 1 for holding it down
Celestial Plug2! Can you imagine it?😊
Never the same without him but nice to see Prince Paul though. 💪
I've had this record since I was 13 years old. That was many many years ago. 😉

100%
great song but this was some primary school class play type set up
yep, young hip hop artists need to take note
@@johnm5186it's just having fun
I miss old school hip hop when it was new. De La Soul is still awesome. The cooking bit was "well done" too.
i saw what you did there
😂😂👏👏👏 Agreed 💯 I miss this style of music, this performance made me so happy, and brought back some great memories from childhood 🫶☮️ Thank you De La Soul! Much love and respect, as always 🙏

De La could've been a household name(s) if it wasn't for that lawsuit
RIP Trugoy, fucking legend
Same, @richardchoi168 ♥️🌼

Agreed
God blessed the day De La retained ownership of 3 feet high and Rising.
🙌🏻💙
I hadn’t heard, just went to Spotify and sure enough, it’s there! Great news, thanks for mentioning it. 😁This album was one of the soundtracks to my first year of college. How time flies!
Sadly they got it right around the time trugoy died
Wholesome rap, classic hiphop - what the world needs.
What could have been... if the Industry wasn't into mind control for profit.
Remember 'me, myself and i'?
And as always “Three IS a magic number”
@@thanemakes5377, *the* magic number.
@@esobed1Gangsta rap set blacks back decades. And whitey was at the top of all that
Facts
De La Soul is the soundtrack of my childhood ❤
Me too 💙😍
and me 😀🌻
3 Feet High and Rising is a classic debut and one of the greatest albums of all time, or any genre
💯
Absolutely beautiful. RIP Dave, we miss your colors daily, but your spirit lives within your family, your brothers, your fans and Hip-Hop itself.
Great to see Prince Paul aka Plug 4.

Hope they sell those aprons as merch!
Me in 1989, a younger NZ middle class white boy, jamming to this on my Sony cassette Walkman every damn day. Thanks De La Soul and RIP Trugoy.

De La Soul ... a reminder of sunnier times. Let's channel those beats and change the world y'all.
I absolutely love Eye Know. What a fantastic performance!
The whistles started and I got goosebumps. Sounds of my teenage years❤❤❤❤❤
Good to see that the other original member of the De La crew is back in the fold. Especially considering that Prince Paul was the architect of the De La Soul sound on their 1st three iconic albums
De La Soul - nothing but smiles & good vibes. CLASSIC
Clever cooking bit. Was listening w me, myself, and I..
The world needs lots of this right now.
Prince Paul doesn’t get enough love!
HBMS is the on another level!
What an awesome performance! One of my favorite songs ever! RIP PLUG 2 Trugoy !!!!! ETERNAL
Daisy Age in full effect!! I luv this! ❤ De La for life. RIP 🕊️
Nice to see Prince Paul there!!
Dope to see them with Prince Paul 🏆 RIP Plug 2 Dave

Happy anniversary 3 Feet High and Rising. Thank you Dave
I was a senior in college when this album came out, and played the tape until the oxide fell off. 35 years later I've been listening to it in my office all week celebrating the anniversary.
The way they illustrated the beat was. Masterful the Eye Know stew is DELICIOUS

De la Soul still groundbreakers in live performance. Salute the Legends💯💯💯💯

De La Soul
Nothing beats De La, so happy get to hear their music digitally again, and Damn Plug1 you still got it! We miss you Trugoy
Only knew this artist from the feature in feel Good Inc. But damn I am into this sound!
They have so much great music. They've put pretty much all of it on their RUclips channel. Well worth giving it all a listen.
Do your self a huge favor and go listen to the entire discography....binge it. You won't be disappointed. Common , Redman, Mos Def CHAKA KHAN show up on various albums.
You guys are adorable, in the most masculine and wonderful way. Balm for the soul.
❤I have loved this group for such a long time, they are AWESOME 💖😎
I was 17 when this came out. Time flies and man, what a life. Rest in paradise Plug ✌️!
I wasn't born when this song came out. My dad had the vinyl the day it released in the UK. When I was 13 he passed it onto me, as well as albums from people like KRS One and Jungle Brothers. This music changed my life. Hip-Hop changes lives, and will always be a reminder to me how cool my Dad is. Emotional watching this. RIP DAVE. De La Soul forever.
That was beautiful. A true friendship.
Much love to one of the best hip-hop groups ever!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Loved it, old school rap that was about conveying a message and not shooting people with a gun.
Pretty sure some old school rap had references to shooting and guns. Mostly, it was railing against it because of how destructive it was to the Black community.
@canaisyoung3601 positive rap was present thought. Arrested development, positive p etc. . It might have gotten big.
This is The Shiznit. De La Soul 💜☺
This is how it is done! De La Soul is still cookin'.
De La Soul is an international treasure!!! Thank you for decades of touring you are cherished worldwide. Thank you Dave 🙏🏾🌻

*This was Beautiful!!!! Favorite De La Soul track! Crowd was wack you definitely would have seen me going CRAZY!! RIP DAVE* 🕊️
I love heavy sampling; it's sad that music like that can't be made anymore. Damn corporations.
It can be, it just requires lots of money to be exchanged. Which might be the right thing for the original artists, but only if they see any of it.
That intro was dope. I loved every second of this!
Man these guys were my entrance to hip hop back 1989. I was 9 and absolutely captivated. Trugoy 😔
I love this but I'm so sad right when they get their publishing back, right when all these anniversaries and good things are happening, Dave had to pass.
Rest in power to the one and only Dove 🕊️
tears in my eyes..if you don't believe me, my eye know.
Eye Know, with extra Peg!
That was just so awesome ❤ Made.me.smile and giggle, remembering those easier good times with De La Soul in the 90's 😎
This album changed everything for me when I was 13, and this song has remained my favorite De La Soul song ever. Fantastic!

My favourite music group of all time. Mase, Posdnous, Prince Paul and Trugoy changed my life forever
"We need 'Pegs' "
I smiled at that. Love the Steely Dan respect.
SAME!!
bummed out that the audience didn't react to it, but I guess it's a deeper cut than I thought lol

This performance took me back and warmed my heart ❤️👑🎼🎧
Timeless, Legendary, 3 is the Magic Number - classic production Prince Paul
Relaxed, cool, and savvy to the format. Awesome!
This was awesome. They still pop up on a couple of my Pandora stations.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 too much fire 🔥 I miss these days. Glad Prince Paul was there. Legendary 🔥🔥 keep going RIP Dove
De La Soul my all time favorite album (Prince Paul you are evil genius) next to The Beastie Boys (Paul's Boutique Album) RIP Trugoy The Dove Plug 2)
This is the happiest song in Hip Hop
Goosebumps!!! Best performance of the year
That was amazing. So ready for these guys to do a victory lap.
THANK YOU for bringin it! Wonderful creative concept with the cooking set up. Glad to see y'all in action. You are icons. Blessings!
